ING have brought it on. It comes upon
US unawares. Tie patients have
pains about the chest end sides, and
some times in the back. They feel dull
ana sleepy; the mouth has bad taste,
especially in the morning. A sort OF
sticky slime collects about the teeth.
The appetite is poor. There is feeling
like a heavy load on the stomach; some
times a faint, au-gone sensation at the
pit Of the stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel clammy
After while cough sets in; at first dry,
but after few months it is attended with
a greenish coIored expectoration. The
patient feels tiredaH the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any rest. After
a time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil foTebodings. There
is a giddiness, sort OF whirling sensa-
ton in the head when rising up suddenly.
The bowels become costiye; the skin is
dry ard hot at times; he blood becomes
thick and stagnapt; the whites of the
eyes become tipged with yellow; the kid
ney secretions become scantY and high
colored, depositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a splitting
up of the food some times with sour
taste; and some times with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently attended with
palpitation of the heart and asthmatic
symptoms; inc vision becomes impaired,
with scots before Sthe eyes; there is a
feeling da great prostratiOn and weak
ness. All q these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that nearly one

shipping Sugar TO Texas.

The tug c. F. Keyser reached
port yesterday morning from Morgan
City, bringing with her the barges
Alice and George, loaded with an.
other consignment of sugar and
molasses for the Merchants and
Planters Line. The two barges
moored at the usual place at Central
wharf slip, in front Of the sugar
warehouse, where their cargo was
soon discharged. The barge Alice
brought 1000 barrels of sugar and
the barge George $50 barrels of
molasses, making a total of 275O
barrels. As an evidence of this new
trade. is steadily increasing, this last
consignment is the second received
this week, the schooner Minnie only
few days ago having arrived from
Morgan City with large cargo of
sugar and molasses. Both the barges
were towed away last night by the
keyser, bound for Morgan City for
another supply. They will return
the latter part of this week.

Cost Of u Cocktail

| One Of the plackiest and most
satisfying things that ever transpired
III any community occurred in Brook
iyn city recently. 1t is beautiful
because it shows the existence of a
strong moral sentiment in at least
one circle, and the possession Of
good common sense and splendid
courage on the part of young lady
who had been long esteemed for her
oeaoty and accomplishments. The
g'rI IN question was invited by her
lover, to whom she had just become
bethroted, to take a drive behind
his fast horse. This animal was
perfectly docile with his owner, but
not to he depended upon when other
hands manipulated the ribbons.
After spirited trip down the Coney
Island road the lover informed the
lovee that as he had a cold he
thought he would stop for a moment
ana brace up on cocktail, if she
ielt that she had nerve enough to
hold the reins. Certainly" said
the yonDg lady. Il am not in the
least timid. Get your cocktail bv
all means." The thirsty traveller
stepped to the curb, carefully covered
the quivering beast, and was soon
lost to sight. The young woman
thus deserted quietly waited mo,
ment, then deftly drew in the blank
ct, turned the horses head, and at
the risk Of her life started for homo.
But anything was preferable to the
companionship of man who would
leave her at the entrance of a public
house while he drank a gin cocktail
at the bar. She arrived safely at
the stables, gave the horse into com.
petent hands, and then proceeded to
the telegraph Office. This was her
message: Horse, carriage and
driver safe. The later proposes to
remain safe. A word to the wise is
sufficient Naturally the young
man tried to make excuses and plead
his cause, but every effort was use.
less. "The man who could so far
forget himself before marriage.
would be beast afterwards" was
the uncompromising argument of
this girl. Oh for lot more of this

How Wooden SpoOls are Made.

Golden Days tells how wooden
spools are made: Birch wood is
preferred. The birch is first sawed
into sticks four or Eve feet long and
seven.eighths of an inch to three
inches square, according to the size
OF the spool to be produced. These
sticks are thoroughly seasoned. They
are sawed into ssor blocks, and the
blocks are dried in hot air kiln,
At the time they are sawed a hole is
bored through them. One whirl of
the little block against sharp knives,
shaped by a pattern, makes the
spools at the rate of one second.
A small boy feeds the spool machine,
simply placing the blocks in a spout.
snd throwing out the knotty or de.
fective stock. The machine is auto.
matte, but can not do the sorting.
The spools are revolved rapidly in
drums, and polish themselves. For
some purposes they are dyed yellow,
led or black, They are made in
hundreds of shapes and sizes. When
one sees on spool Of thread 400
yards or 1900 yards" these words
do not signify that the thread has
been measured, but that the spool
has been gagged, and is supposed to
contain so much thread.

citizen; that he was no coward and
no Anarchist. He would not stand
more abuse from them, so he ap-
